There are now over 4,000 posted submissions with the overwhelming majority of them speaking out against Bill C-61, anti-circumvention rules, and for stronger fair dealing (earlier charts here, here, here, and here). While critics of fair copyright insist on characterizing many as anti-levy or anti-copyright, there have been only five submissions calling for the elimination of copyright and eight submissions that oppose any media levies. By comparison, over 3,000 submissions focus on anti-circumvention, notice-and-notice, and stronger personal use rights.
Regardless of your views, there are just nine days left to join the thousands of Canadians who have spoken out. What are you waiting for – speak out on copyright today!
